You are exactly right. To be useful, it would be a complex, feature rich program. In fact, M$ Project is (IMHO) a very poor example of project management software. Jim Tor Sigurdsson wrote:
I'm not in for discouraging people, but gosh, you sound like a true programmer ;-) I'd take your estimate, and multiply it by at least 3.1415926595 years ;) You see, good project management software is a white-collar package, meaning it has to have much more than just basic information about the project. There are cost estimates, resource planning, resource distribution, heck, I don't even know all the english words that fairly describe a project management system....
Personally, I'd LOVE to see a *NIX based project management system worth the attention. If you know M$-Project well enough, and think you can mimic it in a short period of time, _PLEASE_ do so :-)
But then, my personal believe is that there would be needed some Big Corporation (TM) involved as a client/test base, and that won't happen just yet. ( soon tho... I hope :-)
